175 = 2x70 + 35
For 'MacroMondays' theme of 'Games or Game Pieces'
First Choice
We have had this Bagatelle board for over 50 years and when I retrieved it for the theme I found pitted corroded balls and the steel pins rusted. Not a pretty sight! So I removed all 170 pins and replaced them with their brass equivalent. Three balls were taken from an unmade 'roller coaster' kit. Not sure where I will get 16 new roller bearings to replace the old balls!
So there you have it - a cleaned Bagatelle board with 2 balls in the 70 scoring pocket, and one ball in the 35. Total 175 !
